For a True "Vacation", Slip Back in Time to One of the Charming NJ Bed and Breakfasts
The loveliest towns on the Jersey Shore have an added benefit to offer the world weary vacationer, NJ Bed and Breakfasts.
The tradition of "taking the cure" of sun, sea and salt air led many wealthy New Yorkers and Philadelphians of the Victorian era to build beautiful mansions on the beaches of Cape May, the Highlands, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake and other seaside towns. As this luxurious life style faded, many of these beautiful old homes were saved from the wrecking ball because they were opened to the public as Bed and Breakfasts. A vacation in a Bed and Breakfast can be just what many of us, stressed out from the constant pressure of the modern work world, could use to de-stress and take a modern "cure". Today's Bed & Breakfasts, though furnished in the style of a by-gone era, with lovely antiques and comfy rockers on wide, breezy porches, do afford every modern comfort. They have private baths, air conditioning, TVs and internet hookups. You don't have to step back too far in time! In addition to the beauty of your surroundings, the real charm to many of the Bed and Breakfasts is... the breakfast. The hosts of these lovely homes traditionally pride themselves upon their sumptuous breakfast fare, with home made muffins and breads, fresh seasonal fruit and lovingly prepared specialties, such as omelets, Belgian Waffles and fritatas. Many serve tea in the British style in the afternoon, a perfect pick me up after a day at the beach or a whale watch tour, before heading off to town for dinner or entertainment. Another advantage to vacationing at a NJ Bed and Breakfast is that you will have your own personal concierge/tour guide/local adviser on hand to let you know about the best sights and events in the area. The B&B owners not only work in the area, they live right where you are. You can pick the perfect Bed and Breakfast on the Jersey Shore here but have a snack handy. You're going to get hungry reading those menus.
